Winter savings on St. Lucia

Lush St. Lucia sits at the southern tip of the Windward Islands. This island is ruggedly beautiful, featuring towering mountains, called pitons, secluded beaches and sparkling, crystal clear water. This island can satisfy even the pickiest traveler. You can scuba or snorkel, hike in the rain forest or shop for unique island gifts. This island has the only drive-in volcano, La Soufriere. The traditional cuisine is French Creole and the local colonial French ambiance will remind you of New Orleans.

Air is easiest and cheapest if you fly from Atlanta and you might consider staying at the Coconut Bay Beach Resort & Spa. This is an all-inclusive property offering the splash wing for families and the harmony wing for adults. This resort features a palm-fringed pool and the oceanfront Kai Mer Spa.

If you book your winter holiday at this resort by December 31 you can save 55% off the rates for a January stay or 45% off stays from February 1, 2011 through April 25, 2011. If you stay for 7 nights you can get a $250 resort credit that can be redeemed for spa treatments, island adventures or gift shop purchases. Maybe you need some sun in your future.
